If true, I can't believe they actually did that. I wonder if the backlash will make them change their mind. I really didn't think it was possible they would do it.
This will be a horrible deal for people who already have a Creative Suite, as they will be paying over $1200 over 2 years for an upgrade that used to cost less than $300.
Would this be a good time to say "we told you so", since you championed the position that "Adobe isn't going to go all-cloud" for many moons now?
My only question is; what company/product is in the wings that can ramp up their product to replace InDesign? I know there are other image editors to if not replace Photoshop, at least reduce the dependence on it...
Doesn't bother me any, as I don't actually have to buy any product personally. But, I am extremely surprised, as that goes against what many adobe reps have told me. Although it was premature before, you may now commence with your sky is falling antics without comment from me.
I think they wanted to keep it a complete secret to prevent early and growing backlash.
From a support perspective it will be way easier to manage as everything is kept track of online and we won't have to deal with keeping track of who has what. I'm curious to see what deployment tools they include as we don't want every use to have to individually download the product.
